KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 — Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin said he had sent a letter requesting an audience with the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj, regarding the ‘rebuke’ from His Royal Highness yesterday.
Hamidin, however, declined to comment further on the matter but will give an explanation regarding the controversy in national football.
“I am aware of the Sultan of Selangor’s displeasure regarding the MFL (Malaysian Football League) decision. I contacted the Selangor Palace yesterday and today followed up with a letter requesting an audience with His Royal Highness, the Sultan of Selangor.
“So, God willing, I will try to resolve this by providing an explanation (about the current issue),” he said after the launch ceremony of the 2024 National Women’s League (LWN) at Lalaport, Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) here today.
Yesterday, Sultan Sharafuddin expressed deep disappointment and sadness with the MFL decision and FAM members, especially Hamidin, regarding the punishment imposed on Selangor FC for their absence from the Charity Shield match on May 10.
The Selangor Ruler was extremely angry with the latest MFL decision, which His Royal Highness described as irresponsible, lacking compassion, inhumane and not showing concern for the injustice that occurred.
